TECHNICAL FIELD

This application relates to (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one tosylate salt forms, including crystalline forms; methods of preparing (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one and tosylate salt forms thereof; and pharmaceutical compositions comprising a crystalline (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one tosylate salt form.

BACKGROUND

Enzymes in the poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) protein family participate in a number of cellular functions including assisting in the repair of DNA damage. Inhibiting PARP activity is a promising therapeutic approach to treatment of certain cancers. A number of PARP inhibitors are in clinical and preclinical stages as candidate drugs for treatments of ovarian, breast, colorectal, prostate and other cancers. A class of PARP inhibitors disclosed in U.S. Pub. No. 2010/0035883 includes (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one. Preclinical studies indicate that this compound may be a useful therapy for some cancer patients.

U.S. Pub. No. 2010/0035883 provides a synthesis of 5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one and chiral resolution of its (8S,9R) enantiomer. See, e.g., U.S. 2010/0035883, Examples 94 and 155, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes. Additional methods of preparing the compound are described in WO 2011/097602. To move a drug candidate such as (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one to a viable pharmaceutical product, it can be important to understand whether the drug candidate has polymorph forms, as well as the relative stability and interconversions of these forms under conditions likely to be encountered upon large-scale production, transportation, storage and pre-usage preparation. The ability to control and produce a stable polymorph with a robust manufacturing process can be key for regulatory approval and marketing. Large scale production processes for high purity 5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one are sought, which is hampered by the fact that parameters affecting the stability of this compound are not known and polymorphic forms of the compound have not been available.

As used herein, a reference to “(8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3 (7H)-one” or to its formula,

will, unless otherwise noted or made clear in the context in which the reference is used, be a reference to the free base form of the compound.

It will be understood that a tosylate salt of (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one comprises a cation of (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one (e.g., in one embodiment, protonated at one atomic position, or in other embodiments, protonated at more than one atomic position) and an anion of p-toluenesulfonic acid, where the anion is referred to herein as “tosylate.” In certain embodiments, solid forms of (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one tosylate salt will comprise a cation to anion molar ratio of about 1:1. In certain embodiments, the cation to anion molar ratio in the solid salt will be about 1:1.33, about 1:1.5 or about 1:2.

As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the terms “about” and “approximately,” when used in connection with doses, amounts, or weight percent of ingredients of a composition or a dosage form, mean a dose, amount, or weight percent that is recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art to provide a pharmacological effect equivalent to that obtained from the specified dose, amount, or weight percent. Specifically, the terms “about” and “approximately,” when used in this context, contemplate a dose, amount, or weight percent within 15%, within 10%, within 5%, within 4%, within 3%, within 2%, within 1%, or within 0.5% of the specified dose, amount, or weight percent.

As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the terms “about” and “approximately,” when used in connection with a numeric value or range of values which is provided to describe a particular solid form, e.g., a specific temperature or temperature range, such as, for example, that describing a melting, dehydration, desolvation or glass transition; a mass change, such as, for example, a mass change as a function of temperature or humidity; a solvent or water content, in terms of, for example, mass or a percentage; or a peak position, such as, for example, in analysis by, for example, ¹³C NMR, DSC, TGA and XRPD; indicate that the value or range of values may deviate to an extent deemed reasonable to one of ordinary skill in the art while still describing the particular solid form. Specifically, the terms “about” and “approximately,” when used in this context, indicate that the numeric value or range of values may vary by 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, 0.9%, 0.8%, 0.7%, 0.6%, 0.5%, 0.4%, 0.3%, 0.2% or 0.1% of the recited value or range of values while still describing the particular solid form.

The term “amorphous” or “amorphous form” is intended to mean that the substance, component, or product in question is not substantially crystalline as determined, for instance, by XRPD or where the substance, component, or product in question, for example is not birefringent when viewed microscopically. In certain embodiments, a sample comprising an amorphous form of a substance may be substantially free of other amorphous forms and/or crystalline forms.

The term “crystalline form” or “crystal form” refers to a crystalline solid form of a chemical compound, including, but not limited to, a single-component or multiple-component crystal form, e.g., a polymorph of a compound; or a solvate, a hydrate, a clathrate, a cocrystal, a salt of a compound, or a polymorph thereof. The term “crystal forms” and related terms herein refers to the various crystalline modifications of a given substance, including, but not limited to, polymorphs, solvates, hydrates, co-crystals and other molecular complexes, as well as salts, solvates of salts, hydrates of salts, other molecular complexes of salts, and polymorphs thereof. Crystal forms of a substance can be obtained by a number of methods, as known in the art. Such methods include, but are not limited to, melt recrystallization, melt cooling, solvent recrystallization, recrystallization in confined spaces such as, e.g., in nanopores or capillaries, recrystallization on surfaces or templates such as, e.g., on polymers, recrystallization in the presence of additives, such as, e.g., co-crystal counter-molecules, desolvation, dehydration, rapid evaporation, rapid cooling, slow cooling, vapor diffusion, sublimation, grinding and solvent-drop grinding.

Techniques for characterizing crystal forms and amorphous forms include, but are not limited to, TGA, DSC, XRPD, single crystal X-ray diffractometry, vibrational spectroscopy, e.g., IR and Raman spectroscopy, solid-state NMR, optical microscopy, hot stage optical microscopy, SEM, electron crystallography and quantitative analysis, PSA, surface area analysis, solubility studies and dissolution studies.

As used herein and unless otherwise indicated, the term “hydrate” means a compound or salt thereof, further including a stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amount of water bound by non-covalent intermolecular forces. As used herein and unless otherwise indicated, the term “solvate” means a solvate formed from the association of one or more solvent molecules to a compound provided herein or salt thereof. The term “solvate” includes hydrates (e.g., hemihydrates, monohydrate, dihydrate, trihydrate, tetrahydrate, and the like). The solvates (e.g. hydrates) of (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one can be crystalline or non-crystalline.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” refers to a pharmaceutically-acceptable material, composition, or vehicle, such as a liquid or solid filler, diluent, solvent, or encapsulating material. In one embodiment, each component is “pharmaceutically acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of a pharmaceutical formulation, and suitable for use in contact with the tissue or organ of humans and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, immunogenicity, or other problems or complications, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. See, e.g., Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st ed.; Lippincott Williams & Wilkins: Philadelphia, Pa., 2005; Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, 6th ed.; Rowe et al., Eds.; The Pharmaceutical Press and the American Pharmaceutical Association: 2009; Handbook of Pharmaceutical Additives, 3rd ed.; Ash and Ash Eds.; Gower Publishing Company: 2007; Pharmaceutical Preformulation and Formulation, 2nd ed.; Gibson Ed.; CRC Press LLC: Boca Raton, Fla., 2009.

The term “polymorph” or “polymorphic form” refers to one of two or more crystal forms that comprise the same molecule, molecules or ions. Different polymorphs may have different physical properties such as, for example, melting temperatures, heats of fusion, solubilities, dissolution rates, and/or vibrational spectra as a result of the arrangement or conformation of the molecules or ions in the crystal lattice. The differences in physical properties exhibited by polymorphs may affect pharmaceutical parameters, such as storage stability, compressibility, density (important in formulation and product manufacturing), and dissolution rate (an important factor in bioavailability). Differences in stability can result from changes in chemical reactivity (e.g., differential oxidation, such that a dosage form discolors more rapidly when comprised of one polymorph than when comprised of another polymorph), mechanical changes (e.g., tablets crumble on storage as a kinetically favored polymorph converts to thermodynamically more stable polymorph), or both (e.g., tablets of one polymorph are more susceptible to breakdown at high humidity). As a result of solubility/dissolution differences, in the extreme case, some polymorphic transitions may result in lack of potency or, at the other extreme, toxicity. In addition, the physical properties of a crystalline form may be important in processing; for example, one polymorph might be more likely to form solvates or might be difficult to filter and wash free of impurities (e.g., particle shape and size distribution might be different between polymorphs).

As used herein and unless otherwise indicated, the term “stereomerically pure” means a composition that comprises one stereoisomer of a compound and is substantially free of other stereoisomers of that compound. In certain embodiments, stereomerically pure (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one is provided herein that is substantially free of the other stereoisomers including, for example, (8R,9S)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one.

Unless otherwise specified, when an XRPD peak is expressed in 2θ angle degrees, it should be understood that copper Kα1 radiation is used. In some embodiments, the 2θ angle degrees value provided herein may vary to an extent of about ±0.2°θ, while still describing the same XRPD peak.

In the ¹³C solid state NMR, the peak positions can vary depending on factors such as signal-to-noise ratio, peak width, temperature, spinning speed, decoupling efficiency, magic angle setting, data processing procedures and parameters, and software peak picking algorithm. In addition, peak position is relative to the chemical shift referencing procedure. Several different chemical shift reference standards may be used and will not necessarily give the same results. This may lead to peak positions that are different by several ppm. However, typically all of the peaks will have a systematic change in position in the same direction if a different reference standard was used or if the analyst used a different value for the reference peak position of the same standard. In some embodiments, the ppm values in the ¹³C solid state NMR provided herein may vary to an extent of about ±0.2 ppm, while still describing the same peak.

Such dosage forms contain predetermined amounts of active ingredients, and may be prepared by methods of pharmacy well known to those skilled in the art. See generally, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th ed., Mack Publishing, Easton Pa. (1990).

For instance, oral dosage forms provided herein may be prepared by combining (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one tosylate salt, in one embodiment in a crystalline form thereof as provided herein (hereinafter, the “active ingredient”), an intimate admixture with at least one excipient according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques. Excipients can take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration. Because of their ease of administration, tablets and capsules represent the most advantageous oral dosage unit forms, in which case solid excipients are employed. If desired, tablets can be coated by standard aqueous or nonaqueous techniques. Such dosage forms can be prepared by any of the methods of pharmacy. In general, pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms are prepared by uniformly and intimately admixing the active ingredient with liquid carriers, finely divided solid carriers, or both, and then shaping the product into the desired presentation if necessary. Disintegrants or lubricants can be used in pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the invention. Production of pharmaceutical compositions or dosage forms in accordance with the present invention may require, in addition to the therapeutic drug ingredients, excipients or additives including, but not limited to, diluents, binders, lubricants, disintegrants, colorants, flavors, sweetening agents and the like or mixtures thereof. By the incorporation of these and other additives, a variety of dosage forms (e.g., tablets, capsules, caplets, troches and the like) may be made. These include, for example, hard gelatin capsules, caplets, sugar-coated tablets, enteric-coated tablets (for example to delay action), multiple compressed tablets, prolonged-action tablets, tablets for solution, effervescent tablets, buccal and sublingual tablets, troches and the like. The dose form or dosage formulation may be formed by methods well known in the art. See, e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 16th and 18th eds., Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa. (1980 and 1990). See also U.S. Pharmacopeia XXI, U.S. Pharmacopeia Convention, Inc., Rockville, Md. (1985).

In some embodiments, the effective amount is, nevertheless, determined according to the particular circumstances surrounding the case, including, e.g., the specific agent that is administered, the route of administration, the condition being treated, and the subject or host being treated. In certain embodiments, however, doses employed for adult human treatment is in the range of about 5 to about 8000 μg per day, in a specific embodiment about 10 to about 5000 μg per day. In certain embodiments, the amount of (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one tosylate salt to be administered is between about 50 μg to about 5000 μg, between about 50 μg to about 1500 μg, between about 50 μg to about 1000 μg, between about 50 μg to about 500 μg, between about 50 μg to about 250 μg, between about 50 μg to about 200 μg, between about 50 μg to about 150 μg, between about 50 μg to about 100 μg, between about 25 μg to about 2500 μg, between about 25 μg to about 1000 μg, between about 25 μg to about 250 μg, between about 25 μg to about 150 μg, or between about 25 μg to about 75 μg. In various embodiments, the desired dose is conveniently presented in a single dose or as divided doses administered simultaneously (or over a short period of time) or at appropriate intervals, for example as two, three, four or more sub-doses per day.

In certain embodiments, the daily dosages appropriate for the (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one tosylate salt described herein are from about 0.1 to about 200 μg/kg body weight. In certain embodiments, the daily dosage is from about 0.3 to about 3.0 μg/kg body weight. In some embodiments, an indicated daily dosage in the larger subject, including, but not limited to, humans, is in the range from about of about 25 to about 8000 μg, conveniently administered in divided doses, including, but not limited to, up to four times a day or in extended release form. In certain embodiments, suitable unit dosage forms for oral administration comprise those described above. The foregoing ranges are merely suggestive, as the number of variables in regard to an individual treatment regime is large, and considerable excursions from these recommended values are not uncommon. In certain embodiments, the dosages are altered depending on a number of variables, not limited to the activity of the compound used, the disease or condition to be treated, the mode of administration, the requirements of the individual subject, the severity of the disease or condition being treated, and the judgment of the practitioner.

EXAMPLES

Methods and Procedures. Reagents and solvents used below can be obtained from commercial sources such as Aldrich Chemical Co. (Milwaukee, Wis., USA). Routine chemical analyses were conducted using NMR, MS and HPLC.

Mass spectrometry data is provided in relation to the mass of the parent ion, M. HPLC data is provided as a purity percentage.

Unless otherwise noted, The XRPD patterns were acquired on a Bruker D8 Advance diffractometer (Bruker AXS Inc., Madison, Wis., USA). Samples were gently flattened onto a zero-background silicon insert sample holder. A continuous 20 scan range of 4° to 40° was used with a Cu Kα (λ 1.54056 Å) radiation source and a generator power of 40 kV and 40 mA. A 2θ step size of 0.05 degrees/step with a step time of 1 second/step was used. Experiments were performed at room temperature and at ambient humidity. Standard error was about 0.2 2θ angle degrees. The entire list of peaks identified in the XRPD pattern, or a subset thereof, may be sufficient to characterize the polymorph(s) obtained.

Unless otherwise noted, DSC thermograms were acquired using a TA Instruments Q2000 Differential Scanning calorimeter (New Castle, Del., USA). The sample was weighed out directly into an aluminum DSC pan. The pan was sealed by applying pressure by hand and pushing each part of the pan together (also known as a loose lid configuration). Except as noted below, the temperature was ramped from 25.00° C. to 400.00° C. at 10.00° C./minute. In the DSC figures, exothermic events are plotted in the upward direction.

Unless otherwise noted, TGA thermograms were acquired using a TA Instruments Q500 Thermogravimetric Analyzer (New Castle, Del., USA). Samples were weighed out into the pan. Except as noted below, the temperature was ramped from 25.00° C. to 400.00° C. at 10.00° C./minute.

Unless otherwise noted, DVS were acquired using standard procedures on a DVS ADVANTAGE 1 model from Surface Measurement Systems Ltd. (Alperton, Middlesex, UK). A moisture adsorption desorption isotherm was performed as outlined below. The standard isotherm run is a cycle starting at RH 0% to RH 95% at 5% intervals, followed by drying to RH 0% in 5% RH intervals.

This example provides a representative process for the preparation of (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one in accordance with one aspect of the disclosure. The synthesis is outlined in Scheme A.

Preparation of b. To a suspension of a (5 g, 15.5 mmol, 1 equiv.) and 4-fluorobenzaldehyde 2 (3.6 g, 29 mmol, 1.87 equiv.) in a mixture of solvent THF (30 mL) and MeOH (5 mL) was added titanium(III) chloride (20% w/w solution in 2 N Hydrochloric acid) (80 mL, 6 equiv.) dropwise with stirring at room temperature. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at 3050° C. for 2 h. Then the mixture was diluted with water (160 mL), the resulting solution was extracted with EtOAc (100 mL×4). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated NaHCO₃ (50 mL×3) and aqueous NaHSO₃ (100 mL×3), dried by Na₂SO₄, concentrated to afford a yellow solid, crude solid was washed by petrol ether (120 mL). After dried in vacuum, it afforded the title compound as a yellow solid (5.9 g, yield: 95%, Purity: 97%). LC-MS (ESI) m/z: 399 (M+1)⁺. ¹H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl₃-d) δ (ppm): 3.58 (s, 3H), 3.87 (s, 3H), 4.16-4.19 (d, J²=13.2 Hz, 1H), 4.88 (s, 1H), 5.37-5.40 (d, J²=13.2 Hz, 1H), 6.47-6.53 (m, 2H), 6.97-7.01 (m, 2H), 7.37-7.41 (m, 2H), 7.80 (s, 1H).

Compound b was also prepared following a modified version of the above procedure where the washed combined organic layers were concentrated to 1-2 vols, and then 6 vols of heptane added, following which the wash, concentrating and adding heptane was repeated. The solution was then concentrated to 1-2 vols and 6 vols of MTBE added. This mixture was stirred for 1 hour and filtered to give a light yellow solid (92% yield, 98% purity).

Preparation of c. Chiral Separation of b to Obtain c was Achieved Using Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC). Sample was prepared using methanol as a solvent (b: 45 mg/mL), by heated to 40-50° C. and filtrated before the injection. A CHIRALPAK IC, 250*30 mm (I.D.), column and CO₂/methanol (80/20) mobile phase was employed with a flow rate of 65 g/minute. The column temperature was maintained at 35° C. The desired fraction came out of the column as the first peak having a retention time of 2.3 minute and another enantiomer having a retention time of 4.3 minute. UV detection was at 254 nm. The recovery of c was about 92% with >98% ee.

To a solution of c in methanol was added hydrazine monohydrate, and the mixture was stirred under 25° C. for 10 hr. Then the mixture was filtered and dried to obtain the title compound as a white solid. In certain instances where, rather than using methanol, acetonitrile (10 vols) with 3 equivalents of hydrazine monohydrate was used, the reaction could be finished in 5 hours at 35° C. Yields were about 77% to 80% following these procedures.

Tosylate Salt, 7, from THF: (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one (120 mg, 0.316 mmol) was suspended in THF (6 mL) at 25° C. After heating to reflux, the mixture became clear and the temperature was reduced to 45° C. TsOH (66 mg, 0.35 mmol) was then added, and after 1.5 min, a white solid was precipitated from the solution which was allowed to cool to 25° C. Stirring was continued at 25° C. for 30 min. The white crystal solid was collected by filtration, washed with CH₂Cl₂ (10 mL), and dried under vacuum at 45° C. for 3 days. Microscopy: birefringent, crystalline. Results based on microscopy, XRPD (Table 15), DSC (Table 16a and FIG. 5 a), and TGA (Table 16b and FIG. 5 b) suggest that this tosylate salt is substantially a single crystalline form.

Tosylate Salt, 8, from acetone-THF: (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one (400 mg, 1.05 mmol) was suspended in a mixture of acetone (27 mL) and THF (13 mL) at 25° C., after heating to reflux, the reaction mixture became clear. Then TsOH (220 mg, 1.16 mmol) was added, after 30 seconds, a white solid was precipitated from the solution, continued stirring at 25° C. for 30 min, filtered to obtain the white crystal solid, which was washed by a mixture of acetone (10 mL) and 1,4-dioxane (4 mL), dried under vacuum at 45° C. for 3 days. Microscopy: birefringent, crystalline. Results based on microscopy, XRPD (Table 17 and FIG. 8), DSC (Table 18a and FIG. 2 a), and TGA (Table 18b and FIG. 2 b) suggest that this tosylate salt is substantially a single crystalline form. DVA was performed on this polymorph and showed a 0.1574% weight gain from 0%-95% RH (FIG. 8).

The XRPD peaks from preparations of crystalline tosylate salt forms 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are similar. Overlay of XRPD graphs for 5, 6, 7, and 8 are shown in FIG. 1. Each tosylate salt form 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 had a single endothermic peak above 300° C. as determined by DSC, whereas other salt and free base forms all had endothermic peaks well below 300° C. These results indicate a single relatively stable polymorph exists for the tosylate salt of (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one.

Isethionic Salt, 11, 12 and 13, from THF: Microscopy: crystalline. DSC results were not consistent between 11, 12 and 13, although all three preparation had at least 2, sometimes 3, endothermic peaks, including a broad endothermic peak below 150° C. and a sharp endothermic in the vicinity of 272° C. to 282° C. Unlike the tosylate salts described above, which did not show any weight change below 200° C. by TGA, isethionic salt 11 had a 5.72% weight loss at 134.8° C., and isethionic salt 12 showed a 7.034% weight loss at 139.06° C. Results obtained on the isethionic salts suggest that this salt form exists in more than one form.

Phosphate Salt, 16, 17 and 18: Microscopy, XRPD and DSC results were consistent with mixed crystalline and amorphous forms being present in each of the three phosphate salt preparations.

Free base, 19, from acetone: Microscopy, XRPD and DSC results were consistent with a mixture of forms.

TGA: weight loss, at 142.46° C. was 3.7%, and at 256.48° C. was 4.259%. The d values in angstroms (Å) for peaks, greater than 19% relative intensity, resolved by XRPD were as follows: 16.58486; 11.49904; 6.33021; and 6.01178.

Free base form 22, from methanol: A mixture of crystalline and amorphous forms with properties similar to that of free base form 20 was observed.

Free base form 23, from isopropanol: The material produced was amorphous.

Free base form 24, from DMS/ethanol: A mixture of crystalline and amorphous forms was observed. DSC: endotherm peaks: 52.20° C._(max) (12.54 J/g); 202.63° C._(max) (120.9 J/g); 249.34° C._(max) (40.65 J/g). TGA: ambient to 120° C., 0.9388% weight loss; at 223.8° C., 17.47% weight loss.

These results demonstrate that crystalline forms of (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one free base can be prepared from certain solvents, however these preparations were found not to be single crystalline forms having stability matching that of a crystalline tosylate salt form provided herein.

Exemplary Preparation of (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one tosylate salt

The following exemplifies a process suitable for GMP large scale production of (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one mono-tosylate salt as a single crystalline form.

Variation 1: To a solution of (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one (12.4 g) in THF (40 vols) was slowly added a solution of TsOH (1.05 equiv.) in THF (5 vols) at 50° C.˜54° C. The mixture was stirred for additional 30 minutes at this temperature. The mixture was then concentrated down to 3˜5 vols by distillation at 30° C.-40° C. under reduced pressure (vacuum:—0.07 MPa˜−0.08 MPa). Further removal of THF solvent was achieved by adding acetone (20 vols) and then distilling down to 3˜5 vols under reduced pressure, which was repeated three times. The mixture was cooled down to 5° C. and filtered under nitrogen protection. The solid was dried at 60° C. for 17 hours. It gave the title compound as a white crystal solid (16.0 g, 89% yield). LC-MS (ESI) m/z: 381 (M+1)⁺. ¹H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d₆) δ (ppm): 2.29 (s, 3H), 3.67 (s, 3H), 4.97-5.06 (m, 2H), 6.91-6.94 (dd, J¹=2, J²=10.8 Hz, 1H), 7.06-7.19 (m, 5H), 7.19-7.51 (m, 4H), 7.74 (s, 1H), 7.87 (s, 1H), 10.32 (brs, 1H), 12.36 (s, 1H).

Variation 2: To a solution of (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one (0.24 kg) in THF (40 vols) was slowly added a solution of TsOH (1.05 equiv.) in THF (5 vols) at 50° C.˜54° C. The mixture was stirred for additional 30 minutes at this temperature. The mixture was then concentrated down to 3˜5 vols by distillation at 30° C.-40° C. under reduced pressure (vacuum:—0.07 MPa˜—0.08 MPa). Further removal of THF solvent was achieved by adding acetone (20 vols) and then distilling down to 3˜5 vols under reduced pressure, which was repeated three times. After removal of THF solvent and distilling, the mixture was re-slurried with 12 vols of acetone for 14˜15 hours at 50° C.˜54° C. The mixture was then cooled down to 5° C. and filtered under nitrogen protection. The solid was dried at 60° C. for 17 hours. It gave the title compound as a white crystal solid (0.31 kg, 91.7% yield, 99.65% purity).

When subject to ¹H-NMR, the one-to-one integration ratio of N-methyl at 3.67 ppm from the free-base and the methyl at 2.29 ppm from toluene sulfonic acid suggests a mono-tosylate salt formation.

When subjected to DVS at 25° C., the tosylate salt produced from using the steps described in Variation 2 showed negligible weight gain (less than 1%) of the tosylate salt as humidity was increased from 0% to 95% which suggests that it is not hygroscopic. (See Table 29.)

The XRPD pattern in FIG. 6 was collected with a PANalytical X'Pert PRO MPD PW3040 diffractometer using an incident beam of Cu radiation produced using an Optix long, fine-focus source. An elliptically graded multilayer mirror was used to focus Cu Kα X-rays (1.54059 Å) through the specimen and onto the detector. Prior to the analysis, a silicon specimen (NIST SRM 640d) was analyzed to verify the observed position of the Si 111 peak is consistent with the NIST-certified position. A specimen of the sample was sandwiched between 3-μm-thick films and analyzed in transmission geometry. A beam-stop, short antiscatter extension, antiscatter knife edge were used to minimize the background generated by air. Soller slits (0.02×0.02 radians) for the incident and diffracted beams were used to minimize broadening from axial divergence. Diffraction patterns were collected using a scanning position-sensitive detector (X'Celerator) located 240 mm from the specimen and Data Collector software v. 2.2b. The XRPD data acquisition parameters are: transmission mode, X-ray tube settings of 45 kV and 40 mA, 1.00-39.99°2θ scan range, 0.017°2θ step size, 1939 seconds collection time, 1.2°/minute scan speed, ½° divergence slit, and 1.0 second sample revolution time. The entire list of peaks identified in the XRPD pattern, or a subset thereof, may be sufficient to characterize the polymorph(s) obtained. Results provided for XRPD (Table 25) are for a tosylate salt prepared using the steps described in Variation 2. The data in Table 25 are from the XRPD spectrogram provided in FIG. 6.

DSC analyses were performed on the tosylate salts prepared using variation 1 and variation 2 above and similar results were observed.

A DSC thermogram for tosylate salt prepared using the steps described in Variation 2 was acquired using a Mettler Toledo Differential Scanning calorimeter 1. The temperature was ramped from 25° C. to 400° C. at 10° C./minute. In the DSC figure, exothermic events are plotted in the upward direction. The data in Table 26 are from the DSC graph provided in FIG. 7 a. The thermogram shows a very sharp onset of melting, and an exotherm after the completion of melting indicates that melting occurs with decomposition. The flat baseline prior to reaching the melting onset indicates no thermal transitions before melting, suggesting no solvate formation and no transformation of one crystalline form to another.

A TGA thermogram for tosylate salt prepared using the steps described in Variation 2 was acquired using a Mettler Toledo Thermogravimetric Analyzer/Differential Scanning calorimeter 1. The temperature was ramped from 25° C. to 400° C. at 10° C./minute. The TGA graph is provided in FIG. 7 b. The trace shows a stable baseline up to the start of melting and decomposition. This indicates that there is little if any residual solvent or absorbed water present in the crystalline product, and that the product is stable to heat, prior to the onset of decomposition at the melting point.

The solid-state ¹³C cross polarization magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) NMR spectrum for the tosylate salt prepared using the steps described in Variation 2 was acquired at 25° C. on a Varian ^(UNITY)INOVA-400 spectrometer (Larmor frequencies: ¹³C=100.543 MHz, ¹H=399.787 MHz). The sample was packed into a 4 mm PENCIL type zirconia rotor and rotated at 12 kHz at the magic angle. The spectrum was acquired with phase modulated SPINAL-64 high power ¹H decoupling during the acquisition time using a ¹H pulse width of 2.6 μs (90°), a ramped amplitude cross polarization contact time of 5 ms, a 30 ms acquisition time, a 20 second delay between scans, a spectral width of ˜45 kHz with 2799 data points, and with 400 co-added scans. The free induction decay (FID) was processed using Varian/Agilent VNMR 6.1C software with 65536 points and an exponential line broadening factor of 10 Hz to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. The first three data points of the FID were back predicted using the VNMR linear prediction algorithm to produce a flat baseline. The chemical shifts of the spectral peaks were externally referenced to the carbonyl carbon resonance of glycine at 176.5 ppm. The entire list of peaks identified in the ¹³C NMR spectrum, or a subset thereof, may be sufficient to characterize the polymorph(s) obtained. The data in Table 28 are from the spectrum provided in FIG. 12.
